So I’m debating whether or not to perform the final move for JR Corps tonight. I think I will. I have an hour, and hey, what could possibly go wrong?

Needless to say, my email might get missed. Just might. I doubt it, but it might.

Spent today working. Replication is rocking with Gondor, we’ll see how it holds up. Also doing a lot with XSL. Very interesting language is XSL. As Blaine likes to put it, it’s CSS for XML. The fun part is, if you have XML, XSL, and CSS, there isn’t anything you can’t do that HTML can. If you throw in PHP, you have the complete set.

I don’t know how long it will be till I jump on the XSL bandwagon, but once I do, you can be sure it will rock your faces off.

John is a better rollerblader than me. So is half of America. But that’s besides the point. The new idea is to create a odometer for roller blades. Think I can do it?

I’m off to do something now. Later.

So NASCAR is racing at what Richard would call a real track today. I love this race. 110 laptops of sharp turns, narrow roads, all at high speed. Maybe I also love it because it’s known as one of Jeff Gordan’s best tracks :-).

So right now I’m watching it. And playing poker. In case you didn’t read, party poker gave me 20 bucks that if I can play 120 hands with, I can keep it. I like it when they do that. It’s basically a free chance to get money.

I’d comment on Ultima but all I’ve been doing in it is collecting BOD’s. Shoot, that reminds me I need to check my vendor. I’ll go do that right now……

Yay, I get my stuff back even though it died. I love the way vendors work now aday’s. I know it would be cool if they dropped their stuff, but I think I like this better.

Gordan is still leadning. Lap 11 :-).

K, well I best be getting back to my poker playing antics. I love my sweety.

Successful party for Amber. That’s all I have to say. I declare Amber the winner. That’s all I have to say. Yay.

3 movies at the drive in for 7 bucks. Not bad at all for a date night with church. The movies on the docket were:

Mean Girls (the best one of the night in my mind. Both family friendly, and funny.)
The Day After Tomorrow (not as bad as people made it out to be, but weak on plot. Few good references to God though.)
Dodgeball (not all that good, but stupid funny. It’s amazing how when the movie is done, you feel like you wasted 2 hours of your life).Overall, a great night. Cuddling with my sweety and John in the back of my car.

The question is how will I make it to tomorrow. I have enough soda in me to keep me up for another 2 hours if I wanted to, but I don’t want to. My sweety has her grad party tomorrow and I have to be there with chairs and such. Hmmm. I need to get to bed.. soon.

It was also a sad day… Samson died… That would be Amber’s 9-month kitty. I don’t think I want to say anymore than that, other than we had some good times.

Night all.

I’m not feeling very motivated today, but I am at work, so I suposse I better get working.

For those of you who care, Z3 isn’t that great of a Disney Movie.

Drive in tonight. Call for details.

For only being 10:15 in the morning, it has already turned out to be a rather interesting day. I woke up at 8:30 like I always do on Thursday’s. It was a little windy out, but nothing I haven’t flown in before.

Of course, by the time we got to the field at 9, the winds had picked up to gusts of about 30 mph. Not good when your flying objects that are supposed to be lighter than air. Needless to say though, the wind was not enough to get us not to fly… Afterall it was (and still is) a bright sunny day outside… How could we not go up in the air?

So I went up first and found that my plane either went really fast, or didn’t move at all. To explain that further, I was either going with the wind, or into the wind, respectively. This posed quite a problem… How do you get back to the runway if you can’t fly into the wind.

Well, I decided after about 4 minutes of this that it was becoming unsafe to fly. So I started making my way around for a landing. The wind took me a little further out than I wanted to be, and I got a little lower than I wanted to be, and then, I started to panic. I throw my throttle to full and start pulling back genetally to try to get some altitude and perhaps get the thing back to the runway. I watched it… and something seemed rather weird. Even at full throttle, I swear the plane was getting farther away, not coming towards me. Slowly but surely I lost more altitude… But not as fast as one might think. It was basically a helicopter landing out in the middle of the corn field.

Needless to say, the Eagle yet again proved that even when I can’t see the plane because it’s so far away and behind a hill, that it can in deed land itself given that you don’t put it into the ground. So I ran out and got it. Somehow during that time, my gramps got his plane down safely and refueled (it was a fairly long walk out to my plane and back).

I decided to check my plane out because I had no control from my wing either. I had to control with my rudder for most of my flight, which is something I hate to do. Once my Grandpa was up, I went out to watch him for a little bit. He got a little loose going around, and got a little scared, but he managed to bring it in for a true helicopter style handing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plane do that… Straight down from 10 feet up… Amazing.

The mistake came when he decided to take off again. He managed to make a few circles around before he decided to try his luck at landing again. It was looking almost exactly like the previous helicopter landing up until the wind caught his left wing. Suddenly the plane took a dive from about 20 feet up straight into the ground. In my 8 years of flying, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plane shattered quite that bad. I’ve crashed 3 times, most of the time I lose a part of my wing, and perhaps break the body in two… This time, the tale shattered into 4 pieces, the engine, servos, and receiever all managed to come out of the body of the body. The body was shattered. The right side of the wing was…. unrecognizable. The left side was the only thing that was in any sort of "good shape". But on a whole, the blast radius was about 5 feet… That plane, will never fly again.

On the way home, I tried to take a picture of what I thought was Plane Layne’s white house. Might not be though too. Eh. When I get the digital, I’ll compare what I can.

Of course, my interesting morning didn’t stop there.

On the way home, we saw what appeared to be a dead bunny on the road basically right before our driveway. Very sad. It might have been a baby because it was pretty small. As we turned into the driveway, I saw another rabbit on the side of the driveway. As we drove up, it didn’t scury away into the weed like they normally do. It turned out, this bunny had been hit as well, and barely could move. So we drove up to the top of the drive way, got a gone, and then, basically at point blank range… I shot it.

Very disturbing to kill a creature as cure as a bunny.

It’s a little more disturbing when your told to shoot it one more time in the head for good measure.

Eh. Not that their is any evidence that animals go to heaven… but from what I could tell, it was a good bunny.

Banana Monkey, Amber’s site has moved.

Was there anything else I was going to mention? No? I didn’t think so.

Time to get cleaned up and head to church. Later all.
